Questions about video to gif
Why is there a size limit?
GIFs of long videos get huge, so keep clips short and under 100 MB.
What happens to my video?
It is deleted automatically once your download is ready, and within 1 hour at most.
Can I make a GIF from images instead?
Yes, use the GIF Maker tool, which runs entirely in your browser.
Keeping the GIF small
A GIF is a series of full pictures, so its size grows quickly with length, frame rate and width. For a clip you will share in a message or on a page, start with a lower frame rate and a narrower width, and use a short clip of a few seconds. If the result is still too big, reduce the width first, because it has the largest effect.
Choose a clip with a clear start and end, so the loop feels natural.
How the tool handles your video
This conversion needs a server, so your file is uploaded, converted and deleted automatically once your download is ready, and within one hour at the latest. Files up to 100 MB are accepted. To make a GIF from still images instead, the GIF Maker works entirely in your browser.
